A spring of spring constant k is attached to a support at the bottom of a ramp that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. A bloc

k of inertia m is pressed against the free end of the spring until the spring is compressed a distance d from its relaxed length. Call this position A. The block is then released and moves up the ramp until coming to rest at position B. The surface is rough from position A for a distance 2d up the ramp, and over this distance the coefficient of kinetic friction for the two surfaces is μ . Friction is negligible elsewhere.
What is the distance from A to B? Suppose the values of μ, k, d, θ, and m are such that the spring fully extends, but the block never goes higher than 2d .
Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables k, μ, m, d, and θ.


More than anything I'm just confused by the question. If someone could at least draw the picture I might be able to figure it out. Thanks.

Answer:

x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy

Energy lost  by the spring, W=Kinetic energy gained, KE+Potential energy gained, PE+Work done by friction, Fr

0.5kd^{2}=0.5mv^{2}+mgLsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta x

x(mgsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)=0.5kd^{2}

x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

The required distance from A to B is x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

One end of a rope is tied to the handle of a horizontally-oriented and uniform door. a force f is applied to the other end of th
Vlada [557]

For rotational equilibrium of the door we can say that torque due to weight of the door must be counter balanced by the torque of external force

F\times L = mg \times \frac{L}{2}

here weight will act at mid point of door so its distance is half of the total distance where force is applied

here we know that

mg = 145 N

now we will have

F = \frac{mg}{2}

F = \frac{145}{2} = 72.5 N

so our applied force is 72.5 N

Plants make energy. Some of it they use to preform the necessary functions of living. What do they do with the excess energy?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

They can use it for when they are dormant in the winter or to grow more sources for storing and creating energy, or they store the energy (this energy would be considered stored energy).

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Friction is a force that opposes motion. One or two of the advantages of friction are break and ability of an object to walk.

Writing yes it is useful because when your writing because friction helps you see what your writing

ii. Rubbing. Yes, it is useful.

friction make it possible for two object to rub each other

iii. Skiing. No. It is not useful because With presence of friction, skiing will not be possible.

iv. Rotating a wheel No. It is not useful because Friction will oppose the rotation of the wheel.
